Haris who is currently playing for Lahore Qalandars in the latest edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) openly expressed his desire and dream wickets in a conversation with Pakistan and Peshawar Zalmi skipper Babar Azam.<\/p>\n<p>Haris Rauf interacted with Babar Azam during the practice session prior to the match and Lahore Qalandars even posted it on their social media. They captioned it by writing &#8220;Interesting Conversation between Babar Azam &amp; Haris Rauf.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"in\">?\ufe0f Interesting Conversation between Babar Azam &amp; Haris Rauf ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/sochnabemanahai?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#sochnabemanahai<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HBLPSL8?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HBLPSL8<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/QalandarHum?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#QalandarHum<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/QalandarsCity?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#QalandarsCity<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LQvPZ?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LQvPZ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qRpPUtz04J\">pic.twitter.com\/qRpPUtz04J<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lahore Qalandars (@lahoreqalandars) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lahoreqalandars\/status\/1629812993272733702?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 26, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The pacer expressed his views and said that Virat Kohli and Babar Azam are the big wickets that he wants at all costs. He said &#8220;No matter what happens, I just need to take your wicket! Only [Virat] Kohli and you are the exceptions right now. [Kane] Williamson was saved from slip twice. But I have these 3-4 players in my mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Everyone burst into a peal of laughter and Babar replied by saying he has already dismissed him in the nets during practice sessions. He said &#8220;But you already got me in practice sessions. Why don&#8217;t you consider those?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Haris replied by saying &#8220;Nah.

Babar concluded the conversation by saying &#8220;May Allah does well with all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lahore Qalandars defeated Peshawar Zalmi in a high-octane match by 40 runs. Qalandars put together their highest score of 241 runs on board with the help of Fakhar Zaman(96) and Abdulla Shafique(75). Sami Billings played a blazing cameo of unbeaten 47 of 23 balls.<\/p>\n<p>Peshawar Zalmi at one point looked like might chase it but constant blows from Qalandars restricted them to 201 runs. Tom Kohler-Cadmore (55 off 23) and Saim Ayub (51 off 34) did give the team some hope but Shaheen Afridi&#8217;s fifer turned out to be the real highlight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf opened up about his dream wickets that he wants in front of his name &#8216;no matter
